I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. It seems that you were able to hopefully find a little peace by contributing to the service that honored her life.

There's a time for grief, but it can co-occur with wonderful memories too!

I had issues with one of the January b-day blocks too - made it three or four times before I finally got it right. I'm probably going to end up putting borders around them all (in red) so even if it's a little small I can make it work into the overall quilt. :D
